There was only one person acting presidential in the Oval Office today: Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He stood up to bullies in a Kremlin-style shakedown.
What will it take to awaken the conscience of the country after such a shameful display?

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Republicans just confirmed Russ Vought as OMB Director.
He's the guy who will make the budget cuts for Trump and Musk's pillaging of the Treasury.
I voted NO.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking.
This is breathtakingly evil.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
The SAVE Act would require all Americans to prove their citizenship with documentation unavailable to millions and upend the way every American citizen registers to vote.

We are holding the Senate floor – and filibustering Donald Trump's nomination of Russ Vought.
I spoke for an hour about what they are doing, and how these disparate, destructive acts all fit together.
